Arne Slot will serve a one-match touchline ban after an outburst on the touchline in Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Fulham at Anfield. The Dutchman was handed his third yellow card of the season after reacting frustratedly to Curtis Jones being booked for a mistimed challenge on Alex Iwobi, with the home crowd booing the decision to brandish a card at the midfielder.

Tensions were high after Liverpool saw Andy Robertson sent off for bringing down Harry Wilson and denying the visitors an obvious goal-scoring opportunity after 17 minutes. And the 10-man side had to twice come from behind as goals from Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota cancelled out Andreas Pereira and Rodrigo Muniz's efforts respectively.

'There were a few moments when I could have been given a yellow card,' said Slot. 'It's an emotional game and we were a man down, it's frustrating. It's good to see our performance after so many setbacks. Arne Slot admits he deserved to be carded multiple times after receiving a touchline ban for his third yellow of the season against Fulham.

He reacted in frustration after Curtis Jones was carded for a mistimed foul on Alex Iwobi. Liverpool twice came from behind despite being down to 10 men to secure a point at Anfield. 'It's difficult to judge for me because I only see it in real-time like the referee.

'We have to accept what VAR sees. You know how important these decisions can be. We ended up with a draw and I don't think we can blame the referee for that.'. Slot isn't seen as a particularly cantankerous touchline presence and if typically more reserved than his predecessor Jurgen Klopp.
